Super Kabuki “Yamato Takeru”

Posted on by sonokotchi

Watched Super Kabuki “Yamatotakeru” on the first day (4 February 2024).

Kabuki is a Japanese traditional play, originated in Kyoto in year 1603.

Super Kabuki is modern and acrobatic comparing to traditional programme.

I used to watch Kabuki frequently with my late grandmother.

I miss her greatly thinking we did this and that together then.

Fugu Ryori UMEI (Blowfish Cuisine UMEI)

Posted on by sonokotchi

I enjoyed 14 ways of different preparations of blowfish in a night.

Raw, Grilled, Deep-fried, Boiled, Cooked, you name it or see it.

I also enjoyed cold Japanese sake from Fukushima “Hirotogawa” and Nagano “Sawa no Hana”

AND Hire Zake (Sake with Roasted Blowfish Fin)!

Usually, a cup is simply served; however, at UMEI, serving a Hire Zake was the performance and I enjoyed it.

In addition, blowfish is usually tastes simple and thin; however, this time, blowfish was so meaty.

I was told that a Tora Fugu (Tiger Pufferfish) can be a large as 3 – 4 kg.

OMG, it’s a double size of my Chocolate (my doggy)!

He weights only 2 kg!

Choco is smaller than a Tora Fugu!

Obviously, I enjoyed too much of Fugu (Blowfish) at once and could not finish all such as Takekomi Gohan (Cooked Rice).

They made Onigiri (Rice Ball) for us and brought it back for lunch for the next day. hahaha
